‘Tabacuba, meanwhile, which manages agricultural and industrial processes, points out that “Covid and the American embargo have not allowed us to reach adequate levels of production.”’

What could the American Embargo have to do with production?  They take any opportunity to mention it lol

I think Covid and nature has caused most of the issues with supply.

Wow, foh is reducing the nunber of days they run the 24:24 because of the shortage. Thats as much confirmation that I’ll ever need that this shortage is real. It will be interesting to see where everything is at by the end of the year. How long until it trickles to the grey market and what their inventory  will look like after a couple of months.

There are a few rules/laws in place such as the Global Magnitsky act that allows the US to freeze assets. Cuba owes $$$, and there are those that owe Cuba $$$. Right now that money cant move electronically, at least in USD. Those frozen accounts haven't allowed Cuba to move about freely in the world market. They are applying the same pressure to Venezuela. Prez over at FOH says there is plenty tobacco, not sure if he means boxed and ready to ship or in pacas sitting in warehouses. John
